Online and Hybrid Courses

Online Courses

Instead of attending lectures on campus, students enrolled in online courses attend
their classes online using Canvas, the learning management system. Students can sign into Canvas beginning on the first day
of class.

Although your course materials and assignments are available online, the college requires
that at least two tests be proctored during the semester. A proctored exam is one
that is taken at an official testing center. Panola College has testing centers in
Carthage, Marshall, and Center. Tests may be proctored at other locations with prior
approval.

If you have never taken an online course, we highly recommend that you complete the
SmarterMeasure assessment. Some instructors offer face-to-face orientations at the beginning of the semester,
and the eLearning department provides Canvas training orientations during the first
week of each semester. All students are also invited to join the Student Resources
Canvas course, which provides detailed guides and tutorial videos about Canvas.

Hybrid Courses

A hybrid, or blended, course is a course that is taught partially online and partially
in a face-to-face classroom setting. Hybrid courses also use Canvas to deliver online
course content, but some materials and assignments may not be available online.
